ABOUT THE EVENT
As the nights draw in and the shadows lengthen, we invite you to settle in and listen.
Join us for a spine-tingling evening of Scottish folklore with the exceptional Beverley Bryant, one of Scotland’s most celebrated and accomplished storytellers. Drawing from the rich and often chilling depths of Scottish tradition, Beverley will weave a tapestry of dark and haunting tales guaranteed to captivate, unsettle, and thrill in equal measure.
This is storytelling at its very finest – immersive, atmospheric, and utterly mesmerising. Expect suspense, mystery, and the kind of stories that linger long after you have left the room.
ABOUT THE STORYTELLER
A Chair of the Scottish Storytelling Forum and member of the Scottish Storytelling Directory of Professional Storytellers for nearly two decades, Beverley Bryant has enchanted audiences at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, Linlithgow Palace, and the National Library of Scotland.
